*HDR Section

05JUL24
Type
Primary Section#1

Description
Text passed directly to output files as the second 'comment' record in the file headers, eg to identify driver table used to generate output files.

Format
Single record
Field Type Description
HDRREC C79 Text for output file headers
Type: Cn=character string, length n.

Notes
  1. In the output file headers, an exclamation mark (!) is written as the first character (to identify a comment record), with the text string following, hence the truncation to 79 characters rather than the full 80 character length used for output files.

  2. Although the record is read as a single string, the usual rules for driver table entries still apply: completely blank records are ignored and the record is truncated at the first exclamation mark.

  3. Any tokens in HDRREC are expanded once the L1C file is read (as in the Example below)

  4. The version of the MORSE software used (variable VIDHDR set at the start of module morse.f90) is automatically written into the first header record of output files so there is no need to include this information in the *HDR section.

Example

*HDR O3 Retrieval from Orbit#ORB ! this part won't be written

which will appear in the second record in output files (eg for orbit 12345) as

! O3 Retrieval from Orbit#12345
